Exalting the textile expertise of Thailand's Hmong hill tribe, Simone Buys designs a beautiful bohemian handbag. The batik motifs are stamped by hand on cotton; the men make the batik stamps that are used by the women. Crocheted by hand, an open hemp net crowns the shoulder bag, which features three inner pockets, one with a zipper. Brass coins emulate Chinese antiques to adorn the ties that close it.
